I agree. The Dems are making a big mistake if they think they can discredit him by saying he didn't treat Kerry just because he didn't sign the treatment sheet. He was the only doctor on the base and I bet he can prove he was there on Dec 3, 1968. It is up to Kerry to prove how he earned that first PH without treatment from a medical doctor. The mystery of his first PH can be cleared up easily if he will authorize release of his medical records.
I am sure Dr Letson was in Viet Nam Cam Ran Bay about that time because he discussed it with him perhaps 20 years ago prior to this time frame. I knew him prior to his going to University of Alabama Med School Birmingham, Al. He was a licensed Pharmacist prior to going to Med School. He filled prescriptions for me prior to Med School .

I will have to dispute the issue of being the only doctor on the base. Cam Rahn Bay was a large installation with a fully equiped hospital(I had the pleasure of being hospitalized there for two days and assigned there for 9 months, Feb-Nov 71). It was a medivac point for the whole area. Only guessing, but I'd estimate that there were at least 25-30 doctors assigned there, maybe more. I'm not taking up for John F'n by any means, but I did want to set the record straight about being the only dr on the base. There was also a navy detachment on Cam Rahn, and they likely had a dispensery. It's quite possible that Letson saw him there. One final point; Had the wound been of any significance, he would have been sent to the Air Force hospital for treatment.
I firmly believe that F'n did not warrant receiving ANY PH's for his wounds and hope he chokes on his lies concerning them.
